Adopt-a-School

Excite. Inspire. Encourage.

In this time when science and math education are more important than ever, schools are being forced to tighten budgets and cancel field trips. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the wonder of science–it’s our goal to help as many students as possible! With that in mind, we asked corporations, foundations and individuals to step forward and help bridge the budgetary gap, and they have generously responded. 100% of Adopt-a-School funding is provided by corporations and foundations.

The Adopt-a-School program offers qualifying schools access to Imagination Station to bring their students on a field trip.

To apply, fill out the application below and we will help as many students as we can!

Imagination Station is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization.

Monthly Educator Open House

Prior to an Adopt-a-School Field Trip, educators must attend one of our Prep4Ed open houses. These are held monthly at the science center and are for all teachers committed to bringing their students to Imagination Station. This program will empower you with inside knowledge of the exhibits and familiarize you with our educator resources. Chaperones are welcome! Don't miss our next Prep4Ed:
